How an Attorney Can Help in a Personal Injury Claim

Posted By
Stabinski & Funt, P.A.

A personal injury that is suffered as the result of someone else’s
negligence or wrongful actions can have a devastating impact on you and
your family. First you must deal with the physical injuries and trauma.
You may require emergency care, hospitalization, medications, ongoing
doctor visits, rehabilitation, or specialized care to treat and recover
from your injuries. Then there are the financial costs associated with
this type of event. You might lose work due to your injuries; the out-of-pocket
medical expenses might begin to pile up depending on your insurance coverage;
and you might have to deal with the loss of your vehicle if you were involved
in an auto accident injury.

A serious injury can have many consequences, including pain, medical bills
and lost income. Find out how a personal injury attorney helps clients
gets the compensation they deserve.

All of these effects are substantial, but there is also the mental stress
and trauma inflicted on you and your family. You may suffer from post-traumatic
stress; the financial impact could put a strain on your entire family’s
well-being; and your partner could be required to devote a substantial
effort to your care. If the initial incident was the result of someone
else’s actions, you may be entitled to monetary compensation and relief.

How You Can Benefit from a Florida Personal Injury Attorney

If you are involved in a personal injury of any type, the first thing you
should do is seek medical care. Once your injuries have been stabilized
and you are on the path to recovery, you can consider contacting a personal
injury attorney. Try to write down and document as much of your potential
case as possible while it is still fresh in your mind. A qualified personal
injury attorney will then take this information and help you with the
following:

Determine whether you have a case: The personal injury attorney relies on his or her experience to review
your information and determine whether you have an actionable case to
pursue in court.

Handle the paperwork: There is a good deal of paperwork which goes into filing and building
a personal injury lawsuit. You might not be aware of specific filing deadlines
or may not know which entities need to be informed of your action.

Substantiate your claims: The attorney will know what needs to be done to substantiate your claim
right from the beginning. He or she may recommend that you see a particular
medical professional to assess and document your injuries. They may bring
in an accident scene evaluation team, or look for qualified experts who
can help buttress your case.

Assess damages: While you might only be thinking about your actual out-of-pocket expenses,
the attorney can help you look at the entire picture, including long-term
damages, mental and emotional trauma, loss of income, and family stress,
in order to come up with a reasonable compensation figure for your damages.
